How to Clean Spinach

Spinach can hold a lot of dirt and must be thoroughly washed before using. To clean, fill a large bowl with water, then swish spinach around in water until most of the dirt comes off. Repeat process 2 or 3 times, using clean water each time, until no more dirt clings to the spinach. Rinse thoroughly under running water and remove hard stems. Spin dry in salad spinner and/or pat dry with paper towels. Use immediately or store in refrigerator up to 4 days.

I really hate cooked broccolli but love it raw and have made this type of recipe using raw veggies for years.
It really is easy just using raw veggies and ingredients. Toss with the dressing and serve as a side dish or salad. (Have a granddaughter that loves salads but doesn't like cooked veggies so this is one way to get her to eat the veggies.)
You can even add fruit that is in season too and if diet permits nuts. I love it with pomegrante seeds on top.

This recipe looked great when I made it. but you have to serve it right away. if it overcooks it looks awful and the cheese melts and the bacon gets wet.
that was my mistake. I thought it was hard to do quick with 2 kids running around and trying to get everything on the table.
But it looks so good and I love any salad with spinach and bacon.

Everyone that came into the kitchen while I was preparing this delicious food stated, "something smells really good"! Equally as good were the comments that came from everyone after eating their portion.

Very good. I enjoyed this quite a bit. Prep time wasn't too bad and it makes a large amount of salad.

My husband and I did not like this recipe; followed exactly. I would suggest another dressing or at least sampling the one suggested before use.
